Vitellium (Vi) has the following composition:

- Vi-188: 187.9122 amu; 10.861%
- Vi-191: 190.9047 amu; 12.428%
- Vi-193: 192.8938 amu; 76.711%

Based on this data, what can you predict about the average atomic mass of vitellium?

Asked by EloiseJanning

Answer (2)

(0.10861 x 187.9122) + (0.12428 x 190.9407)

(0.76711 x 192.8938) = 192.1100 amu

The average atomic mass of vitellium is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each isotope by its fractional abundance and summing these products. Using the provided data, the average atomic mass is approximately 191.71 amu. This is a crucial process in understanding isotopic composition in chemistry.
